Adante Smith attended the NWOSU JH All-State Choir Workshop this past Saturday. The choir worked on individual parts, musicality, and French pronunciation to help in preparing the students for their upcoming auditions. Adante, along with 3 other Arnett students, will audition in Shattuck on September 23 for the WOCDA Regional Honor and again in Enid on October 28 for the first round of the OCDA JH All-State Choir.
The Arnett FCA group went to Henderson Hills Baptist Church in Edmond this Saturday. They attended the "basic" girls conference. With it being a busy weekend, only 3 students got to attend, but it was a good day well spent full of fellowship and learning!
The Arnett Robotics Team attended kickoff for the BEST Robotics Competition at NWOSU in Alva on Saturday. The students will have eight weeks to design, build and program a robot for competition on Nov. 5th. This year's competition "Incision Decision" models a nanobot with capabilities to perform heart valve replacements, plaque removal, stint installations, vein harvesting and brain biopsies. Students will also be busy writing an Engineering Notebook, putting together a Marketing display & presentation, and building a playing field. Keep an eye out for lots of exciting things coming out of this group in the next couple of months.
Mark your calendars! This year, A-Town TV is hosting the annual Ranch Rodeo 5k. Please see attached flyer for information. Hope to see all of you there!
It's Wildcat Wednesday so make tonight a Sonic night! 5-8 pm at Shattuck Sonic! 15% of sales goes to Arnett Schools!
REMINDER: All sponsorship forms and payments for A-Town TV are due next Friday, September 8th. We had a typo on our flyer that said August 8th, we apologize. Here is the new look for our sponsorships this year. A-Town TV would also like to take the time to thank the family of Robert Dearing. In lieu of flowers for his funeral, the family asked that anyone make donations to A-Town TV. We appreciate the support and he will be missed!
For those who pre-ordered Cunningham peaches, pears, and/or honey, you may pick up your produce in the gym lobby from Noon-5:30 PM tomorrow, August 30. There are extra boxes of peaches, pears, and jars of honey if you missed the pre-order or would like to order more.
Wildcat Fans! If you are wanting a sponsorship ad for the upcoming 2023-2024 streaming events, sales are now open. Please see the attached forms. We handed these out to all students today. If you are interested, please contact Coach Royal or Miss Paige and we will get you set up. All sales and forms due September 8th. Go Cats!
OMTC Student Registration Still Open!

Arnett teachers and staff would like to extend a very big Thank You to the Arnett S.W.A.T team for the baskets of coffee, hot chocolate, flavored creamers, and apple cider. They also provided homemade cinnamon rolls, which were amazing. There's not a much better way to a teacher's heart than coffee and sweets!
Due to the uncertainty of the power outage being restored, Arnett Schools will not have school today, August 14. This will be a "virtual" day so do something educational and we will see you tomorrow.
Due to no electricity, Arnett Schools will have a delayed start until 10 a.m. today, August 14.

Next up is a familiar face to Arnett Schools, Coach Allen Tune. Allen graduated high school from Ft. Supply, and he graduated college from SWOSU. He has been married to Amy for 18 years. They have 5 kids: Ky, Tyler, Alexis, Alyssa and Allie. Allie will be a sophomore at Arnett this year. Allen & Amy have 6 grandkids: Grant, Leddy, Lincoln, Callen, Cora, and Banks. Allen will be coaching JH and HS girls basketball and teaching middle school science and shop. He has been in education since 1998 and coached boys basketball here at Arnett from 2010-2014. What Coach Tune enjoys most about the education & coaching profession is being around the kids and seeing them succeed with hard work and dedication. He tries to teach them no matter what they are doing to always give it their all.
